TSC. He was in a box of bsl chicks that were big enough to fly and were marked $1.

Wow, yours is a handsome roo. I’m glad mine is a roo, we have lots of predators and I was looking for a roo. Didn’t realize right away that I already had one!

Sure. I think I did it right this time!

Glad to see this post. I think I may have a “Not BSL” too from the $1 bin as well. This youngster was born mid-March. Do you think it’s a roo? It wasn’t very cooperative when I tried to take its picture, but my son asked me yesterday if it was a roo, and it chased me kind of aggressively today...

Thanks for your advice. I'll keep my fingers crossed for all pullet BRs! I had forgotten about the 50/50 for the EEs laying green eggs. It's been a fun experiment. I hope to get a variety of egg colors!

Hi everyone! These are two day old chicks from my barnvelder rooster and mostly barnvelder hens (3 are from an Easter egger and should lay olive eggs, and one is obviously leghorn). I also hatched what I hoped to be barred rocks, because I wanted to try the sex link thing. If so, I guess I got...

I bought a bird from our local farm store that was labeled silver laced wyndotte. It is all black and looks a lot like my leghorn. I was really excited,but am afraid I didn't get a Slw. I have australorps and it doesn't look like them. A very small comb. Don't know if I can post pictures yet but...

Hi everyone! I have two adult female Muscovites and one male, plus their 18 babies, hatched in late June (about 12 weeks, will be butchering soon). The mothers never started laying again but they all free range together and at night share the same pen with 2 guineas and 4 chickens. Is it normal...

I went out to check on my five jeers this morning and two are gone. No blood. No feathers. It's a mystery. They are in a closed off stall with poultry netting as a ceiling. So I guess I'm down to three.

I'm trying guineas for the first time this year, for meat and insect control. What do you mean by stock? Like broth? I'm planning to put them in the freezer in the fall, and would like to know any tricks of the trade I can find. I grew up eating wild partridge and we would make great partridge...

I was given a mixed breed drake with a crest and a funny long feather hanging down like an earring. I do not plan on breeding him, and have been collecting his girlfriends eggs. I'm stumped on whether I should keep him in the freezer or the barn. He doesn't seem to have any health issues and...

That's great. I've checked, but the nearest I can find for sale are a few states away. Enjoy your duckling! They are darling!

Awe, I'm in love. Where did you get them from?
